Deep dives
The Power of Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a method pioneered by Dr. Dick Schwartz that helps individuals resolve inner limitations and unconscious trauma. It involves understanding the different parts within ourselves and working with them to promote healing. The approach emphasizes that there are no bad parts, but rather parts that have taken on extreme roles due to past experiences. By accessing the self, which is a core part of our being, we can help these stuck parts heal and transform. This method has shown positive outcomes, including reduced symptoms of PTSD and increased overall well-being.
